    Visual C++ 2008 Express help

    I have written a simple C++ program in Visual Studio that use winsock to send messages over a network to a host. However when I compile it and try to run the program on any other machine, other than my own, I get a "side-by-side configuration is incorrect" error message just before the app loads.

    Can any one tell me how to prevent this???

    Does the other machine have the Visual C++ 2008 runtime package installed?

    No the other PC does not have Visual Studio. If this is causing the problem is there a way around this???

    The last version of Visual Studio I used was 6.0, you could create stand alone executables with this, I'm not sure if the 'Express' version of VS 2000 does not allow this of if there is the option to create a stand alone executables. It might depend on the libraries you are linking to.

    Google Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, there is a download available on the microsoft website.
